S.'s Web

This page is a sort of bucket where he puts something concerns his works, publications, hobbies, and the like, but you may find some more information about teaching material and courses at his institutional homepage (maybe). So, if you were looking for something interesting, smart and curious, this is not the right place. Sincerely.

Just in case you are still there, reading words and words of non-sense grammatical constructions, it is your choice.

Among his research interests are Semantic Web technologies, markup languages for complex documents, design patterns for digital documents and ontology modelling, and automatic processes of analysis and segmentation. In particular, his recent works concern the empirical analysis of the nature of citations, the study of visualisation and browsing interfaces for semantic data, and the development of ontologies to manage, integrate and query bibliographic information and fashion design data according to temporal and contextual constraints.

PROJECTS

Ditto

Ditto (Digrams Transformation into OWL) is a tool that enables the automatic transformation of E/R (with crow's foot notation) and Graffoo diagrams developed in yEd into OWL ontologies, according to three different transformation schemes.

Graffoo

Graffoo (Graphical Framework for OWL Ontologies) is an open source tool that can be used to present the classes, properties and restrictions within OWL ontologies, or sub-sections of them, as clear and easy-to-understand diagrams.

LODE

LODE (Live OWL Documentation Environment) is a web service that automatically extracts classes, object properties, data properties, named individuals, annotation properties, general axioms and namespace declarations from an OWL ontology available on the Web, and renders them as ordered lists, together with their textual definitions, in a human-readable HTML page designed for browsing and navigation by means of embedded links.

KCE

RASH Framework

The RASH Framework is a set of specifications and writing/conversion/extraction tools for writing academic articles in RASH, i.e., a markup language defined as a subset of HTML for writing scientific articles with embedded RDF annotations.

XML2EARMARK

XML2EARMARK is a Web application that allows to convert an XML document into an EARMARK one (linearised in RDF/XML).

ONTOLOGIES

AMO

Argument Model Ontology (a.k.a. AMO) is an ontology that aims to encode the Toulmin's theory through OWL classes and properties, in order to describe a web of inter-linked entities that participate in one or more arguments.

C2W

CiTO to Wordnet Ontology (a.k.a. C2W) is an ontology that maps all the CiTO properties defining citations with the appropriate Wordnet synsets (as defined in their RDF formalisation).

EARMARK

EARMARK Ontology is an OWL 2 DL ontology that defines document meta-markup. It is an ontologically precise definition of markup that instantiates the markup of a text document as an independent OWL document outside of the text strings it annotates.

EChO

EARMARK Changes Ontology (a.k.a. EChO) is an ontology that extends the EARMARK ontology and includes the OWL 2 DL implementation of FRBR and the Provenance Ontology, so as to keep track of all the changes and provenance data related to different versions of the same document.

EOO

FOCO

Functions of Citations Ontology (a.k.a. FOCO) is an ontology that classifies CiTO properties (each defining a particular citational act) according to their factual and positive/neutral/negative rhetorical functions.

SPAR

The SPAR Ontologies form a suite of orthogonal and complementary OWL 2 DL ontology modules for the creation of comprehensive machine-readable RDF metadata for every aspect of semantic publishing and referencing.
